Benefits of technology

[0011] Furthermore, the present invention uses the sample detect circuits and the processor to complete the charging of various batteries. Moreover the charging power is self-adjusted by the power consumption. When the power consumption drops, the charging current is increased to reduce the charging time. When the power consumption increases, the charging current is reduced or stopped to make the system work. Therefore, the present invention enhances the efficiency of the converter to reduce the cost.

Problems solved by technology

In the above-mentioned, the circuit of the charging apparatus 1 of the prior art is complicated and expensive.
Moreover the charging apparatus 1 of the prior art cannot charge a variety of batteries, spends much time to charge, and cannot charge a battery according to the power consumption of the portable computer.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a charging apparatus for portable computer, and more specifically, relates to a charging apparatus, which can charge a variety of batteries in a portable computer. [0003] 2. Description of the Related Art [0004] The computer has developed speedily since the world has become computerized, and, in particular, the portable computer has advanced greatly in miniaturization. The portable computer needs a battery to supply power, and the battery should be a rechargeable battery. [0005]FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a prior art charging apparatus for a portable computer. The charging apparatus 1 of the prior art 1 uses a converter 12 to convert AC power into DC power, and a processor 14 is connected to the converter 12 and the battery 18 to detect the status of the battery 18. If the power of the battery 18 is lower than a low threshold, the processor 14 transmits a charging enable signal ...
